Correct use(module) types

[rosskevin]

This is going to be a cascading set of changes across projects. Tightening the use() method args in #1291 exposed that the downstream types were incorrect, and the types here were not flexible enough to accomodate.

Closes #1294 (along with related PRs in other repos)

Rebuild and merge after this release:

• Fix the types and use exposed types from i18next i18next-xhr-backend#319
• Fix types for use() module i18next-browser-languageDetector#180
• fix types for use() react-i18next#912

@jamuhl this is ready to release as a patch. Once released, the PRs linked in the description need to be triggered (they are setup to pull the next patch) to be released as related fixed to fully solve #1294

If you have the time can you please also update the typings at DT for i18next-node-fs-backend?

@mgroenhoff This is open source - I highly appreciate the work @rosskevin provides in adding types to i18next - still my personal opinion is - if people use those modules and need typings for them it's not asked too much to create a PR there (this is not paid software)?

Honestly, I was negatively surprised how many typescript users love to contribute to creating issues and giving thumbs up on them - but none of them volunteer and provide a PR.

@jamuhl Ofcourse am I ware that it is open-source and I highly appreciate what everyone is doing for the TypeScript (heck all of open-source) community. I kindly asked if he had the time. If not I can do it myself but since @rosskevin is the author of these changes I thought it might not be too much trouble for him as he exactly knows that has changed and why. I do not, so I have to spend time figuring out what changes were made and fix our build because breaking changes in typings keep occurring in non-breaking change semver updates.

@jamuhl I don't know why my question made u answer in such a way but I was just trying to be polite and not trying to offend anyone. He is perfectly capable and in his right to answer with no.

@mgroenhoff look I didn't want to sound rude - even less against you personally - this is just my general observation from the last days
